Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 527 No Applause
There were many guests who came to watch Long Aotian's Ascension, including representatives from the Artifact Refining Master Alliance, Alchemy Master Alliance, and Talisman Master Alliance, other business people who had business dealings with the Longteng Merchant Alliance, and some representatives of Immortal Cultivation sects.

Qin Chuan met many acquaintances, Zhang Xiaoming, Chen Peng, Wen Wan, Kong Ming, the Su brothers and sisters, and Chu Tianlong all came with their teachers. He was also formally introduced.

"Brother Qin, you hurt brother's heart too much, and you didn't send us invitations after getting married!" Zhang Xiaoming complained.

"I'm doing this for your own good, mainly because I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the gift!"

"Tch~ Don't you need thousands of spirit stones to eat your banquet?" Chu Tianlong curled his lips.

"more or less!"

"Just brag, we still have to eat, you have to make up for this banquet!" Everyone echoed.

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Okay, I will hold a special table tomorrow, and welcome everyone to come, but if you really can't afford a gift, don't come!"

Everyone is making a fuss again!
The next day, Qin Chuan and Mu Yilian invited a group of friends in the small banquet hall of the VIP building. Qin Chuan prepared the dishes for the banquet himself. Since he is a foodie, his cooking skills have become more and more refined over the years, and the ingredients are abundant. The dishes on the table make people drool when they look at them.

The fruit products are also extraordinary, many spirit fruits are brought from the Yunlai Cultivation Alliance, and some are special products of the Lanyu Immortal Mansion, such as the spirit peach obtained from the tenth-floor giant ape territory of the Immortal Mansion. The legendary flat peach, but ordinary people eat it to keep their body healthy, while monks in the Qi refining period eat it to save at least half a month of hard work.

The spirit wine is even more extraordinary, it is brewed with Zuiyun fruit, and it is hard to buy with ten thousand gold, so the value of this banquet is at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, and the gift money of two thousand spirit stones per person can only be considered a good deal.

Guys like Zhang Xiaoming and Chu Tianlong vowed to take back the gift money they gave out, but after a while, they ate and took a table of delicacies, and there was not much left. The two girls, Wen Wan and Su Yifei Originally, Xiu wanted to be more elegant, but when he saw this situation, he hurriedly swiped to his side, otherwise he would really have nothing to eat.

"You guys..." Qin Chuan was really speechless. Fortunately, he had prepared enough dishes. As for the spirit fruit and spirit wine, he would not take them out easily.

Eating banquets is nothing more than trying to have fun, Mu Yilian's communication skills are good, and she is used to Su Yifei, so she quickly integrated into this group.

The topics on the wine table are inseparable from the Thirteen Continents Dabi, Lan Yuxian Mansion, and the recent major events in the world of cultivating immortals. There is no need to repeat these, in short, the purpose of connecting feelings has been achieved.

In the next few days, everyone still gathered frequently, and Long Aotian's ascension ceremony began half a month later.

The so-called ascension ceremony is more appropriate to say that it is a farewell banquet. For relatives, this is not necessarily a good thing, so the real direct line of the Long family gives people the impression that they are forced to smile.

Those who have a good relationship with the Longteng Business Alliance will send blessings, of course, there are also some people who gloat, a fat old man with a greasy face said with a smile: "Brother Long is going to the upper realm to enjoy blessings, who will take care of your granddaughter? How about marrying my Fushou grandson, from now on, your Long family and our Cao family will be one family, and no one will dare to bully her!"

"Old Cao, you are too shameless. Who doesn't know that your grandson is a good-for-nothing. He barely built his foundation with countless elixir. After hundreds of years, you plan to make niece Feixue a widow. Why don't you marry into our historian's family?" , when the time comes, she doesn't have to worry about anything, just enjoy the happiness!" said a middle-aged man with triangular eyes.

"Tch... Shidanai, if you want to win the Longteng Merchant Alliance, just say so, and you will still enjoy the blessings, thanks to your words!"

Long Aotian sneered, "Don't be too complacent, wait for those old things to ascend, and see how arrogant you are!"

"Hey, Brother Long, don't forget, there is nothing else in our Cao family, even if there are a lot of people, there are also a few up-to-date ones. You don't have to wait until the ancestor ascends, and there will be two more Huashen in the family!"

"That's right, our historians are not like some others, we like to fight in the nest!"

……

The three of them held guns and sticks at the banquet, and Qin Chuan asked Long Feixue for their identities through voice transmission.

"Brother Yi, that fat man is called Cao Jinquan, known as Cao Caishen, the current chairman of the Bailian Chamber of Commerce, and Shi Danai is the chief executive of the Jinhe Chamber of Commerce. These two have always been the main competitors of our Longteng Chamber of Commerce! "

"So that's how it is. Later, you will ask someone to sort out the specific situation of these two families. You may not even have to deal with them in the future!"

Long Feixue nodded and said nothing more.

Apart from a few episodes, the banquet went smoothly on the whole. After all, everyone is a respectable person. If they make trouble at the Ascension Ceremony, they will be stabbed in the back!
Before the Void Ascension, there will be a cleansing catastrophe, of course it cannot be held in the city.

Early the next morning, a large group of people rushed to a wilderness and hills more than three thousand miles away from Longcheng. The scene of Long Aotian standing against the wind, tearing apart the void with one hand shocked everyone present. This was a display of strength. It is also an inner vent.

Restricted by the laws of this realm, cultivators of Huashen are often unable to exert their strongest strength, giving people the impression that they are not much stronger than monks in the late Yuanying period, but this is not the case. This is like a strong man with a height of 1.8 meters. Fighting against a boy under the eaves of 1.7 meters, he needs to be afraid of hitting his head from time to time, so the strength he can display will be greatly reduced. Now that he is about to soar, naturally he doesn't need to shrink back.

Qin Chuan couldn't help admiring secretly. In the past, he really underestimated the strength of these cultivators. If the Yin-Yang monster had put up a desperate posture at the beginning, he believed that even relying on many treasures, he might not be able to kill him.

The colorful robbery clouds gather, the Jingchen Yimu thunder descends, the first seven robbery thunder dragon Aotian resisted with his fists, and did not use magic weapons until the last two, and took out a token when breaking the void and ascending, presumably it was a command or something s things.

At the moment of parting, everyone had different expressions. Many old monsters thought that they would experience such a moment in the near future, while young monks dreamed that they would have such a day. As opponents, they would secretly rejoice, while relatives and friends naturally Reluctantly, watching her grandfather disappear into the sky, Long Feixue burst into tears...

The guests who watched the ceremony began to leave one after another the next day, but Qin Chuan did not leave. There has been an undercurrent in Dragon City for the past few days. Coming soon, he needs to be a good backup.

On the seventh day after the Ascension Ceremony, Long Feixue held a high-level meeting of the business alliance to deploy the focus of development for the next ten years and make some personnel adjustments.

The participants included the shareholders of the business alliance, the heads of major commercial firms, and the heads of overseas trade, etc. Qin Chuan was honored to attend the meeting.

In the meeting hall, Long Feixue sat in the middle, with the shareholder representatives on the left and the senior executives of the business on the right. There were more than thirty people in total.

"Everyone is here, now let me talk about today's topic..."

"Wait~" Someone suddenly interrupted Long Feixue, and then a dozen people walked in from outside the conference hall. The two old men at the head of it didn't know how old they were. look.

Long Feixue frowned slightly, and stood up, "You two uncles, the business alliance is discussing matters now, let's talk about it later!"

"Hmph, my Long family's property is managed by the son of the Long family. When it's your turn to be a girl, don't step down, so as not to make you laugh!" One of the purple-robed old men scolded.

Long Shiliu teased, "Fifth Uncle, why didn't you bring it up when Uncle was around?"

The purple-robed old man said nonchalantly: "When the elder brother was here, he naturally had the final say on the family. Now that he's gone, it's up to me and the fourth brother to decide the seniority. Don't you think so?"

"Old Five is right, hehe..." the golden robed old man chimed in.

"That's right, everything depends on the fourth and fifth uncles!"

"That's right, it's up to the fourth and fifth uncles to decide!"

"Agreed, the fourth great-grandfather and the fifth great-grandfather should make the decision!"

……

Those who followed all echoed, the formation seemed to represent the aspirations of the people, but the people who were originally in the meeting room were all old gods, and there were a few emotional people who didn't speak when they saw others, and didn't rush expressed his opinion.

Qin Chuan glanced at Long Feixue, saw that she could still maintain her dignity, and couldn't help but secretly nodded. It seems that Long Aotian's training for her these years has been fruitful.

After making a fuss for a long time, no one answered, the noise became quieter, and even the two old guys felt bored, the old man in purple robe coughed twice and said: "Dear shareholders and stewards, the Longteng Business Alliance is about your interests and future. You can rest assured that a little girl will manage it, Long Er, tell me!"

An old man in his fifties stood up from the shareholders' seat, "Uncle Four, Uncle Five, I think Feixue is pretty good, you should ask other people for their opinions!"

"You...don't forget how Long Kui died!"

"That's his own fault, no one else's fault!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

"Okay, you worthless thing, how could the eldest cousin have a descendant like you!" The purple-robed old man trembled angrily.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but glanced at Long Er. He killed Long Kui, and this man and Long Kui are father and son. As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark, but a poisonous snake that knows how to endure is the most terrifying. a danger sign.

"Long Liu, tell me!"

"Fifth Uncle, your old family is not young, it's not good to live at home, why come here to join in the fun!"

……

The people who were named by the two old fellows were at most just a few perfunctory words, and none of them were willing to stand out. The family members also had hot faces on their faces.

Long Feixue didn't want to see their ugliness anymore, "The two uncles are getting old, and they will recuperate in the Anyi Hall from now on. The others ignored the old man's age and forced them to come here because they were unfilial. You should be expelled from the house, thinking that you were confused for a moment, and punished to do hard work in the mine for ten years as an example to others!"

"Little girl, dare you!" The two old men were angry. This is not to let them rest, it is clearly a confinement for them, and the other people are even more noisy. Considering their delicate bodies, let alone mines for ten years, they are Mining for a year can also cost them half their lives.

Long Feixue waved his hand, and dozens of silver armored guards rushed in, dragging the group down. Several people who were originally moved looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

A farce ended with no applause, and then the formal discussion began. At first, everything seemed to be calm, until someone made a suggestion, and things began to get out of control, "Everyone, I don't think our business alliance can't blindly Take a defensive position. Maritime trade has always been the biggest source of income for the business alliance, but it is also risky. Now that Bailian Chamber of Commerce and Jinhe Business League have all set their sights on this area, the competition is bound to become more intense in the future, so we have to develop other businesses. Stand still!"

"Senior officer, let me know what you think!" Long Er looked very interested.

"My meaning is very simple, that is, lending. You see, our business alliance has accumulated a huge amount of spiritual stones, and it is a waste to put them in the warehouse. It is better to let him make money!"

"How does money make money, tell me in detail!"

……

Qin Chuan was dumbfounded hearing this, and couldn't help wondering whether this guy surnamed Gao might have come here through time travel. This is clearly the embryonic form of the banking system.

If it can be implemented according to his theory, it will undoubtedly be very profitable. He knows that banks are money-absorbing machines, but this theory may not be suitable for the world of cultivating immortals. First of all, spirit stones are both currency and monks. Indispensable consumables, unlike banknotes that can be replenished without limit, one day those spirit stone mines will be mined. If the supply of spirit stones is insufficient, then the business alliance will not be able to pay, and the credit system will collapse at that time. Undoubtedly fatal!

Secondly, the relevant regulations and guarantees are not perfect, and it is very easy to go out and collude with others to cheat loans.

The steward surnamed Gao quickly described the "Qian Jing" as infinitely beautiful. Those shareholders were all staring at each other. Even Long Feixue was quite moved. Finally, she didn't forget that there was an aide next to her, "Brother Yi, What do you think?"

"Feixue, have you forgotten the old man's instructions? At present, you have not fully controlled the Long Family and the Merchant Alliance, so everything should be stable!"

"But the executives said that the feasibility seems to be very high!"

"Hehe, would you believe me if I said he was cheating you on purpose?"

"Brother Qin, why did you say that?"

"This matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. I suggest that this topic be shelved for now!" Qin Chuan had a hard time explaining the theory of bank currency in plain language.

Long Feixue showed a look of embarrassment, but still chose to believe him, "Everyone, the current business alliance should focus on stability. This is also the policy formulated by his grandfather before he left. The idea of ​​​​the executives is good, but the time is not ripe now. I think we should discuss it later!"

"Niece Feixue, I think now is the best time to develop financial resources. If we wait for other business alliances to implement it first, wouldn't we just be greedy?"

"Yeah, we can't stick to the old ways, we should be brave to open up!"

Several shareholders with foreign surnames expressed their opinions one after another, and Long Er and other Long family members also expressed that they could not let go of the opportunity to earn a lot of Lingshi. Seeing this scene, Qin Chuan knew it was bad.

Sure enough, Long Feixue couldn't hold back, and finally approved the suggestion of opening a "ticket number".
